The fun, adventure and health advantages of selling electric bicycles can be easier to achieve than many people realize. (NAPS)

(NAPSI)—By 2020, one in three Americans will be over age 50. If you
or someone you care about expects to be among them, there’s something
you may want to consider—and it’s electric.

An electric bike, that is. In fact, a whole shop full of them. Owning an
electric bicycle store is an increasingly popular second or third career for
many.

There are several good reasons:

1. The electric bicycle industry is booming. It’s expected to grow
60 percent worldwide by 2025. Pedego, the No. 1
electric bike company in the U.S.,
has helped more than 100 career want-to-be entrepreneurs open a store.

2. The bikes practically sell themselves. You just have to create an
environment where it’s fun and easy to buy.

3. Owning a Pedego store is both enjoyable and
fulfilling. People who own a store say it’s surprisingly good to see
the smiles on customers’ faces or hear how riding an electric bicycle
has changed their lives by expanding their social circles, helping them get
fit or ditching their cars for green transportation.

4. The stores are NOT franchises. They’re independently owned and
operated. You’re the boss—but you’re not alone. The company
offers dealer support and services at no charge and there are no licensing or
royalty fees.

5. Opening a Pedego store can be good for your
health and happiness as well as your pocket. The store owners tend to be a
fit bunch thanks to all the bicycling. Plus, it’s a great way to meet
people and have fun. While some retirees find their worlds shrinking as work
relationships trail off, electric bike dealers develop new friendships with
the customers who join them for group rides.
